County Has Many Cemeteries
Reprinted by permission from Dale Drake.
Morgan County has a number
of cemeteries, many of them very old, that will be visited this weekend
to honor the dead, especially the servicemen and women of all wars. Therefore, The Reporter thought it would be nice to list them and their locations in observance of Memorial Day.
The list was taken from records at the Morgan
County Public Library, and has been revised to include the work done by
Tom Bowen and the Cemetery Committee of the Morgan County History and Genealogy Association in the past few years. If you know of the locations of any cemeteries that are not on this list please contact Helen Straub, 765-349-1635, or Dale Drake, 317-996-3553. Please note that many of these cemeteries are on private property and permission should be obtained before visiting them.
